Visit the link above to meet Jeannie Amendola, a truly inspirational Disney Cast Member. Here are her thoughts during a ceremony at the Magic Kingdom.

"I could hear my own voice on the microphone as I was speaking to these government officials and special guests at Walt Disney World and it almost felt as if Walt Disney himself is there with you, as if he is placing in your hand his magic and his dream, and you have to cherish it and nurture it and share it with all of the cast members and with all of our guests around the world."

I can't help but wonder, if Walt had not created such powerful momentum with, as Jeannie said, "his magic and his dream", how different would my world be?

Walt was obsessed with bringing entertainment, recreation, and leisure to the world. He managed to get others to buy into his vision so that they, like Jeannie, would feel so passionate about that vision that they would "nurture and share it".

WOW! There are so many thoughts that come into my mind with this, but I think this thought shines the brightest right now for me.

All over the world, there are movements on all levels to create hatred, anger, and misery. The world is full of complainers, hackers, gossips, thieves, con artists, liars, abusers, mean people...you name it! And that's just the beginning, but I don't want to go too far into the inner loop of the dark side.

Walt created a movement that attracted people who wanted to make the world a brighter place in any number of ways. He must have done something right, because the movement is still going!

I know an adorable little Disney Princess named Camille who delights all by dancing in her princess costumes. I know of so many people who count the days by their next Disney vacation. The phenomenon of the PassPorter Disney trip report has a huge following.


Can you post the ways that the momentum of Walt Disney's ideas created a bright spot for you or someone else? Do you think it is catching?
